Champagne Brut Gran Cru Laurianne Lejour 75 cl

Description

History

Laurianne Lejour is a young producer who has been active for a few years on a tiny vineyard estate of 1.5 hectares in her property divided into 4 micro-parcels in the grand cru classification between the Montagne of Reims and the Côte de Blancs in the municipalities of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Louvois. Each single vineyard is individually vinified in the small owned cellar in Reims using used oak flûtes. Assemblies for 20% of the total made up of vins de reserve, and no recourse to malolactic fermentation. Already at the beginning, Laurianne offers us wines with a wide floral expressiveness and a seductive perlage, distinguished by a marked territorial identity and marked minerality. A talent to follow carefully who will offer us surprising champagnes over the years and who has already been the interpreter of a style recognizable for its elegance and clear territorial transposition, as recently attested by the award obtained already in the second harvest as “Jeune Talent de Champagne” .

Grapes used

Pinot Noir 50%

Chardonnay 50%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called champenoise method or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked).

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Straw yellow color with golden reflections and very fine perlage. On the nose the notes of fresh yellow fruit and spices intertwine with a powerful minerality. On the palate it is creamy, fine and crystalline with great persistence.
